Manchester United Held 1-1 at Fulham After Fernandes Misses Penalty

Ruben Amorim criticised a defensive mindset after taking the lead.

Overview

  • United left Craven Cottage with a single point from two league games after a 1-1 draw that continued their winless start.
  • Bruno Fernandes blazed a first‑half penalty over the bar following a VAR review of Calvin Bassey’s foul on Mason Mount.
  • United went ahead when Leny Yoro’s header from a Bryan Mbeumo corner deflected off Rodrigo Muniz for an own goal, a sequence Fulham’s Calvin Bassey later said should have been ruled a foul.
  • Fulham substitute Emile Smith Rowe equalised from an Alex Iwobi cross within two minutes of coming on, ending United’s run of eight straight wins at the ground.
  • Amorim said his players “forgot how we play” after scoring and that the team must “grow up,” as a new £200m front line again failed to produce a goal from open play.
